Need to fall back in love with your craft? If I’ve learned anything, it’s the little moments that count. Learning to make small, everyday things magical is an art all witches can benefit from. Not to mention, being on tumblr often surrounds users with elaborate, expensive altars which, while totally fine, aren’t always realistic.
Making everyday activites a part of your craft is incredibly helpful for:
- getting back into witchcraft after a long break or hiatus
- beginners who don’t feel ready for a formal spell
- witches with mental disabilities who don’t have the energy for a formal spell but still want to continue their practive
- anyone!!! literally anyone!! everyone !!!!!
Here’s some ideas I had! Feel free to add yours on too :)
much love, @nature-is-punk
-Stir your coffee/tea to the right on days you want a boost of extrovertedness, bravery, and confidence.
-Stir your coffee/tea to the left on days you want to focus on yourself. I like to do this before I paint or take a test!
-Envision your goals and wants each day as you make breakfast. Even if it’s just you pouring cereal and picturing an A on that test, it’s a small bit of mindfullness that can make a big difference.
-Mumble or just think of a sentence or two to serve as a little spell, repeating it three times. Then take three bites/sips to cast it! Bonus points if the food you’re eating coordinates with the spell - i.e, eggs for new growth
-Eating oatmeal? Draw sigils with your spoon!
-My mom always said it was good luck to kiss the tea bag before you brew it…Not sure about this one, but might as well!
Casual Bedroom + Bathroom Spells
-Coordinate the colors you wear with your want for the day! Personally, my favorite way to do this is with underwear and socks, since I don’t exactly fancy wearn head to toe orange on days I want to be a bit more positive.
-Leave a few second pause before your feet first touch the ground in the morning, let yourself just have a little moment to dedicate your renewed energy before taking your first steps.
-Each time you run the brush through your hair, repeat a little spell for personal growth and health! Clean your brush frequently so there is no old hair and ‘old energy’ adulterating the spell.
-Envision anything negative or toxic in your life being scraped off your skin each time you wash your hands.
-Shower magic is the absolute BEST! Enchant all your soaps so each wash gives you a little boost!
-Draw sigils with your eraser on your assignments, portfolio, resume, etc.,
-Consistently churning out sub-par work? Try washing your pens off in the bathroom sink, imagining the water cleansing any sluggish energy. If anyone asks, you were eating something sticky and it got on your pens.
-When going up or down stairs, stick to the right side to attract new friends and maintain confidence.
Stick to the left side to focus on your own path and self.
-If walking down the street a distance, come up with a little spell chant. Each step, say a word or piece of the spell.
-Enchanting your shoes - basic, but a must have. I have each of my shoes echanted for the places I generally wear them to–my heels are specialized for beauty and confidence, while my everyday sneakers for resilience and positivity.
- Find a spider in the house? Get a cup, and as you take it outside, explain to it that you could have easily killed it because it was in your home, but you benevolently let him go! Ask a question–the spider will answer within 7 days! Be on the lookout for signs.
- This only works with spiders you find in your house! Not outside.
Always be on the lookout for tiny signs. Finding the magic in little things is important.
